Treasure hunting - Indiana Jones style

A search for the treasure of King Alaric is underway around the Italian town of Cosenza. The Visigoth chieftain is famous for the sacking of Rome, and is said to be buried with a huge bounty, somewhere in the area. Francesco Sisci is coordinating the treasure hunt - he says there could be as much as 25 tonnes of gold to be found alongside the dead king.
